Dylan Kain is the singer and bassist for Texas-based power trio Novakain. Novakain has opened shows for great national acts like Blue Oyster Cult, Jackyl, Tom Keifer, and many more. And in 2022, they took home the Best Rock Artist award from the Fort Worth Weekly music awards. Novakain’s most recent album, 2022’s The Oh No! Unknown, impressed Tesla’s Frank Hannon so much that he offered to produce and shoot a video for their song “I Don’t Care”.
In this interview, Dylan discusses the band’s relationship with Frank, their plans to release new music, and if we might see them on the road.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
